Code, Coffee & Chaos on taihen.org / 418 ... engineering in progress

Last year I wrote about distroless containers and finished with a small brag: I build my own minimal base image with apko and Wolfi, look how tiny it is, look how few packages it has.

Early in my career, I assumed everyone worked the same way I did.

I didn’t sign up to be a project manager.

One of the things I care deeply about is helping other engineers grow.

Ever found yourself knee-deep in a routing incident at 3 AM, frantically switching between terminals and browser tabs trying to piece together BGP data?

If you’ve been in the container game for a while, you’ve probably seen a lot of buzz around “distroless” containers.

I’m happy to announce a simple yet effective command-line DNS benchmarking tool I’ve recently developed: dns-benchmark.

As infrastructure engineers, we often find ourselves bridging gaps between the tools we use and the monitoring systems we rely on.

Over my two decades as an infrastructure engineer, I’ve watched our field transform dramatically.

Who Am I?

In Unix-like operating systems, dotfile is synonymous with hidden file.

Back in 1994, a new Internet Protocol was in the works - Internet Protocol next generation (IPng) - which eventually became IPv6.

I found above message in a kernel log and I was just wondering what is all about.

On the day of my birthday, I wondered (of course - as many us do), if this is my start date, what is the to origin story of the birth date of computer time?
